Not sure. She lit up, I had time to get it in the ditch and jump. Insurance company is still fighting me on it. Bastards.

Thanks for the add, just got my 2015 Power Wagon less than 2 months ago and love it, first vehicle that wasn't a Jeep in 14 years, never owned a truck before. Now I just need to find some trails up here in BC that it will fit down.
On the way back through Jasper, AB after picking up the truck at the Dodge dealer in Hinton, AB.
Here is how it sits currently with a fresh set of 35x12.5R17 BFG KO2s on it, still look small though on this truck.

One of the reasons I got rid of my 2012 JK was due to the fire problems, everyone acted like I knew about this issue when I got it. I had no clue, is your insurance company aware of the fires?

That's horrible. I would be highly upset if my power wagon burned to the ground. Ton of money in it.

And even though the ol saying states that vehicles are repairable/replaceable, sometimes I have to disagree. They may not be as important as my family's life (or others), but sometimes they are not replaceable.

They categorically deny that this is in anyway related to the rest of the burnt JK's out there. They sent out a special investigator, because "It's highly suspicious that a new vehicle burns to the ground on the highway". I talked to the SI, and sent him pics, he just laughed, said there's no way he'd be able to tell them how it started, just like the rest of the burnt JK's he'd seen this summer alone in Alberta.

You know, I was so glad I didn't have my kids with me, and we'd been planning to be in the mountains the weekend wheeling, so I'd rather it go like it did, rather than in the woods, which were drier than a popcorn fart. Can you imagine the fire it woulda started out there? Whew!! The cop and fire crew all commented on how well I was taking it.

I loved that jeep! It worked perfect! Exactly how I wanted. I'm more upset that I missed out on some amazing trails this summer that the rest of my crew did!! Now that's not replaceable!!

I actually used the winch on my truck last night. Old 1-ton on a flatbed that needed to come off to make room for a loader.
